The SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (Sascoc) is set to announce two Olympic flag bearers for the first time in the history of the sport.

Sascoc's first vice-president Lwandile Simelane said the new administration has chosen to do things differently in a bid to address the issue of gender equity in the Olympic squad travelling to Tokyo, Japan, next month.

Olympic 400m record holder Wayde van Niekerk was the flag bearer at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.Schoenmaker and Simbine are medal prospects and are expected to produce podium finishes in swimming and athletics and follow in the footsteps of the previous flag bearers. She said what motivated the Sascoc decision to go with two flag bearers instead of one is the desire to address the issues of gender equity.
